Written by leading authorities in the field of European civil procedure and collective redress, this timely book explores the model collective proceedings rules in the ELI/UNDROIT European Rules of Civil Procedure. It explains the intended application of this 'best practice' set of collective redress rules, intended to promote greater consistency in civil and commercial court procedure across Europe, linking to existing European practice and initiatives in the field.Chapters investigate important issues for mass and collective actions including certification of actions as suitable for collective treatment, collective settlement, costs and funding. Concluding with insights from class action experts outside Europe, this incisive book provides objective perspectives on this rapidly developing area of European legal practice and proposes areas where these rules may influence class actions internationally.

Collective and Mass Litigation in Europe will be a key resource for scholars and students of collective redress and civil procedure. The commentary on this significant benchmark in collective redress litigation will also be of benefit to policy makers, judges and legal practitioners involved in mass claims.
